  • Tools: Git, CMake, GDB, Docker, Cross Compilation, OpenOCD

🏆 Key Projects

1. Real-Time Multi-Tasking Telemetry System

Architected a preemptive multitasking system using the FreeRTOS kernel on a Raspberry Pi (BCM2711).Integrated Mutex Semaphores to arbitrate shared I2C access between ADXL345 and DS3231 sensors.

2. Bare-Metal Linux Driver Development

Constructed functional device drivers for the BCM2835 SoC interacting directly with Physical Memory via memory mapping. Developed GPIO and UART drivers by manipulating hardware registers directly.

3. Smart Asset Tracker & Vibration Logger

Engineered a secure telemetry pipeline using MQTT to sync data to HiveMQ Cloud with SSL/TLS encryption.Developed a real-time Qt 6 visualization dashboard to parse JSON payloads.
